Here is the last part to this Summer Special, and the last of my Monster Falls series. Thank you all for supporting me on this long journey! Here's to many more and I hope you all enjoy!

Bill's POV

"Come on, Kids. We're almost there."

"We've been walking forever," Orion groaned, dragging his feet. Clover still skipped along happily beside me.

"I know. It's only five more minutes." I pulled the kids close, holding their hands. "Orion when I go inside, you need to stay here with Clover and protect her, just like I'm going to go protect Pine Tree."

Orion nodded and puffed out his chest, trying to seem buff. I threw him a wicked smile and continued forward.

I could feel Pine Tree's energy and even little Will's. We were so close now. I only hoped nothing had happened to them in this realm of weirdness.

8-Ball wasn't smart. I knew that. But having Xanthar by his side made him much smarter. Xanthar knew me well, knew me secrets well enough. I would have to kill them both.

"Okay kids, we're here," I said, pointing to the farthest building away. It looked abandoned, its broken pieces floating beside it. It was a perfect building for an operation such as this.

"Remember the plan Orion. Should anything go wrong, you have to use the spell I showed you, and then you have to run to your Great Grunkle Ford as fast as you can. He will know what to do."

If something truly bad happened, there would be little Sixer could do to fix this, but there was also a small chance he could. He almost knew as much about the chaos and the weirdness as I did.

I sat the kids down in the thick brush of the thorn forest we had been walking through and marched forward. I only hoped the screaming trees wouldn't give away their position. It would be a fight to the death.

Dipper's POV

When I opened my eyes the sight before me made me spring to my feet. Will was strapped to the floor and above him was 8-Ball, dangling an ax over his head. He was crying, his eyes puffy and red. His hair was a mess and his cheeks were bright pink.

"Stop!" I screamed, drawing 8-Ball's attention to me. "Don't hurt him! Please, I'll do anything!"

"Anything?" He asked, eyeing me.

"Anything!" I screamed, trying to pull on my chains to get closer to Will.

"Including taking his place?" 8-Ball asked.

Of course he would say that. And of course I would save my child. I would do anything for my children. I loved them more than anything. And I loved Bill more than anything. He would save me.

But would decapitation kill me for real though? If I was dead there was no telling what 8-Ball would do to Will. But I had to try and save him.

"Yes," I seethed. "I will take his place."

8-Ball grinned, and his strange eyes squinted excitedly. He was trying to play games just like Bill did. He was trying to be clever. But he could never be as smart as Bill Cipher.

Then 8-Ball released Will throwing him back into our cage and proceeding to tug me to Will's place. All four of my deer legs were strapped down before my human torso and arms.

I could barely lift my head up enough to see what happened next. Everything happened so fast I could barely comprehend it.

8-Ball began counting, "three, two–".

The door nearest to us burst open revealing Bill, and my fate seemed evident as the expression on his face changed from surprised to horrified just as 8-Ball said "one".

Bill's POV

I couldn't wait any longer to see Pine Tree, so I threw myself toward the door, sending it to splinters as I broke through. But on the other side was not a pretty sight.

My mind registered Will sitting in a cage, crying his eyes out, 8-Ball's rather smug expression and finally the ax falling through the air over Dipper's head.

"NO!" I screamed, but it was too late. The ax sliced through the air and eventually met the floorboards.

Will screamed and I fell to my knees, unable to look. For a moment everything was silent except for Will's soft cries. Then the blood boiled in my ears.

I could feel my nails digging into the floorboards that now felt soft, splintering the wood. I could feel my skin bubbling and burning to my bones.

A sharp crack rang through the air, which I later realized was my neck as my gaze now met 8-Ball's.

"HoW dArE yOu MeSs WiTh Me!? HoW dArE yOu MeSs WiTh My FaMiLy!?" I roared, rising from the floor until I was a floating cloud of anger and rage.

"Your precious Dipper is dead. And your family is next!"

I threw myself at him, clawing his arm as he dodged and made a move for Will. He did not move in fear, but instead he screamed and the next thing I knew was 8-Ball was on his back.

Will was seething, his cheeks bright red and his hair like fire. He began screaming again, throwing his little fists into 8-Ball's stomach.

I nearly stopped in my tracks, but I took my chance to end it. I threw myself at 8-Ball again and tore him limb from limb. I wouldn't go for just his head, I would rip apart every part of him until there was nothing left.

Will finally broke me from my murderous trance when he tugged on my bloody clawlike hands. I stopped my pursuit and left 8-Ball's mangled body on the floor.

I followed his gaze to Dipper who wasn't awake like I'd been hoping. The ax was moved to the side now, providing a clear path for his head to reassemble itself to his body.

But nothing happened, so I waited.

Will sat beside me, stuffing his face in my torn, bloody tailcoat. I waited, but nothing happened.

Suddenly I found myself sobbing uncontrollably and clutching tightly to Will, burying my face in his blue sweater.

Immortality was a lie. My entire existence was a lie. Not once had an ax befallen me in my many millennia, but apparently that was all it took to kill me.

When my tears subsided his body was still unmoving and lifeless. Dipper was dead. My Pine Tree was dead.

I lifted Will from the floor and set him on my shoulders. We had to find the twins. I couldn't let them see this. They couldn't see him this way.

I would get Pyronica. She would help me because for once in my entire life I truly couldn't help myself. I didn't want to.

"Clover? Orion?" I croaked, calling for them.

Two little heads appeared from the bushes. Their eyes turned sad as they noticed the lack of Dipper's presence.

"Where's–"

"Bill what the fuck!? I nearly die and you leave me in there by myself!?" I froze.

In that moment everything happened in slow motion. My eyes pricked with tears again and I could feel my eternal heart hammering in my ears.

I whirled around, speeding towards him.

"You're alive!" I called with joy.

I threw myself into him and crashed my lips onto his, nearly making Will fall from my shoulders. He was surprised at first, but I felt his lips mold into mine as he gave in.

"I thought you were dead," I nearly cried, wrapping my arms around him.

"For a while there, I did too," he admitted. "Will I'm so glad that you're–"

"DADDY!" The twins screamed, crashing into him as well and wrapping their arms around him tightly.

"We thought you were both dead!" Clover yelled all too loudly.

"But we're not," Pine Tree exhaled thankfully.

"That's right guys," I said. "We truly are immortal, aren't we?"

"I guess so," he smiled, looking up at little Will.

"Yeah!" Orion chipped in.

"You know what that means?" I asked, grinning happily again.

"What?" They all asked, eyes curious.

"We'll be together forever."

The End.














"Oh my gosh! Do you know how many times I can watch Bambi in forever!?" Clover screamed. "LIKE A TRILLION."
